Joey Bosa sack celebration is a Twitter emoji shrug

Ohio State sophomore defensive end Joey Bosa is one of the best defensive linemen in the country. The guy also has a sack celebration that will resonate with the young folks.

After getting a sack in September against Cincinnati, Bosa did the shrug. Ohio State fan site Eleven Warriors captured a photo and tweeted it out along with the shrug emoji, and it went viral from there. Bosa took to it and says the fans liked it so much he stuck with it.

“It just happened,” Bosa said of the first shrug celebration via The Plain Dealer. “I guess a bunch of people liked it so I feel obliged, like I have to do it every time I get a sack.”

He also described it “little emogi. The little face like that.”

Here’s what he means:

The sack dance has become proprietary for Bosa; he even complained when he saw another player do it.
